Calgary Heritage Roasting Co. — Organic Single Origins

Calgary Heritage Roasting Company is the single-origin side of Canadian Heritage Roasting Co., run by the same two wildland firefighters, Jamie Parker and Mike Wenzlawe, who started roasting in 2015. While the Canadian Heritage line celebrates Canadian wildlife through named blends, Calgary Heritage focuses on origin-specific single origins — Colombia, Guatemala, Indonesia, and an organic decaf. Same roaster, same organic commitment, same tree-planting program: over 215,000 trees planted to date through their partnership with veritree.

The roasting happens at their cafe in the historic C.C. Snowdon building at 2020 11 St. SE in Ramsay — a 1911 oil refinery turned into a brick-and-beam coffee space. They roast to order, ship within days, and source organic green beans from farms they know. No warehouse coffee, no middlemen, no pretension.

Four Single Origins, One Roaster

Colombia is a medium roast with milk chocolate and caramel — balanced, smooth, and approachable. Works for any brew method. Organic Guatemala is also medium, with cocoa and citrus notes and a silky body — a step more complex, built for drip and pour-over drinkers who want clarity. Indonesia is a medium roast with earthy, herbal notes and a full body — the darkest of the single origins, good for French press or a bold drip cup. Organic Decaf is a medium roast processed without chemicals (Swiss Water or CO2 process) — same flavour profile, no caffeine, for the evening pour-over crowd. All four are organic, all whole bean, all roasted fresh in Calgary.

Organic, Traceable, Tree-Positive

Every bag of Calgary Heritage coffee is certified organic. No pesticides, no synthetic fertilisers — just green coffee from farms that treat the land and their workers right. The tree-planting program is not a gimmick: 215,000 trees and counting, verified through veritree, which means you can see the impact data yourself. Jamie and Mike built this company around the values they carried as wildland firefighters — transparency, integrity, leaving the land better than you found it. That philosophy runs straight through every bag.
